Marc Cucurella

[DeBlueLou]

So I’ve been told that it’s now in Brighton’s hands, they know our valuation and it won’t move. It seems we have put our cards on the table

Will probably be clear in a day or so if City are moving on.

Is city's valuation 45m or 50m or different?

 

[LongsightM13]

Can’t see this happening now it’s gone on too long and he’s away to Portugal with Brighton on a pre season tour, he wouldn’t of went if the deal was close to being completed

The transfer window has been open for less than two weeks

Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag

Why are you asking him? He just made that up!

 

[Sargecity]

I know it’s not my money, but I just cannot see the value in spending £50m on him.

Feed the seagulls

I hope this deal gets done soon, a natural lb who is strong both offensively and defensively. It seems to have gone a bit quiet in terms of the links to other potential lb targets eg Ait Nouri and Raum which hopefully is a positive sign.

Three good players there

What type of table?

Card table

It would be strange for City or any club to go in with the first bid being the final bid. You could end up bidding 10 million more than you needed to!

Cant argue with @mattyb though. Cheers for the info.

OK, if 50M£ is too much, then move to the other targets. We cannot afford next year without a left-back It's time to pay for Cucurella and solve the problem.

If you believe @mattyb though, which I do, then you will know it’s not our first bid…

Oh yeah player plus cash. Forgot.

I can see cucurella going on strike here.

You’ve forgotten to slag off Zinchenko. I appreciated the break though.

My guess is as I’ve said plenty of times, we are prepared to pay circa £50mil with some of that probably based on add-ons, whereas Bloom will be trying to bluff with something like a £60mil price tag.

I’d expect it get done.

That would be a bit extreme. I can’t remember the last time that happened.

Nah, he doesn’t give me that impression. I do though think his agent will be doing his bit to try and get them to negotiate to get deal done.

I seem to remember an ex Southampton player going on strike before the tramps signed him.
